Extract text from FVF files
To convert your FVF file to another format, you need FlukeView Forms or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Test & Measurement" file type, you need software like FlukeView Forms or a similar tool.
The .FVF file extension is a proprietary binary container generated by FlukeView Forms, a documenting software suite used with Fluke Corporation test instruments. These files serve as the digital "black box" for storing logged measurement data, waveform captures, and event records from devices like digital multimeters (e.g., Fluke 289), thermometers, and ScopeMeters.
The real problem for users is that .FVF files are completely unreadable outside the Fluke ecosystem. You cannot open them in a text editor, and Microsoft Excel cannot natively import them. This creates a significant bottleneck when field technicians send raw data files to engineers or clients who do not possess the specific - and often expensive - FlukeView Forms software license. Furthermore, version compatibility can be an issue; files created in newer versions of FlukeView may not open in older legacy installations.
To make the data usable, the file must be converted. For numerical analysis and graphing, the standard target is CSV (Comma Separated Values) or XLSX, allowing the data to be manipulated in spreadsheet software. For official reporting and archiving where data integrity must be preserved against accidental edits, converting to PDF is the industry standard.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FVF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FCA, FEL and MUP files.
If you want to convert FVF file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use FlukeView Forms or similar software from the "Instrument Data Logging" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to FVF, try FlukeView Forms or another comparable tool in the "Instrument Data Logging" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FVF converter.
